Deuteronomio 27

Studie

   

1 OR Mosè, con gli Anziani d’Israele, comandò e disse al popolo: Osservate tutti i comandamenti i quali oggi vi do.

2 E nel giorno che sarete passati il Giordano, per entrar nel paese che il Signore Iddio vostro vi , rizzati delle grandi pietre, e smaltale con calcina.

3 E scrivi sopra esse tutte le parole di questa Legge, dopo che tu sarai passato, per entrar nel paese che il Signore Iddio tuo ti , paese stillante latte e miele; siccome il Signore Iddio de’ tuoi padri te ne ha parlato.

4 Quando adunque sarete passati il Giordano, rizzatevi queste pietre, le quali oggi vi comando, nel monte di Ebal; e smaltatele con calcina.

5 Edifica ancora quivi un altare al Signore Iddio tuo, un altar di pietre; non far passare ferro sopra esse.

6 Edifica l’altare del Signore Iddio tuo di pietre intiere; e offerisci sopra esso olocausti al Signore Iddio tuo.

7 Sacrifica ancora quivi sacrificii da render grazie; e mangia, e rallegrati davanti al Signore Iddio tuo.

8 E scrivi sopra quelle pietre tutte le parole di questa Legge chiaramente e bene.

9 Mosè ancora, co’ sacerdoti Leviti, parlò a tutto Israele, dicendo: Attendi, e ascolta, Israele: Oggi tu sei divenuto popolo del Signore Iddio tuo.

10 Ubbidisci adunque alla voce del Signore Iddio tuo, e metti in opera i suoi comandamenti, e i suoi statuti, i quali oggi ti do.

11 Mosè ancora in quello stesso giorno comandò, e disse al popolo:

12 Gli uni d’infra voi stieno sopra il monte di Gherizim, per benedire il popolo quando sarete passati il Giordano; cioè, le tribù di Simeone, di Levi, di Giuda, d’Issacar, di Giuseppe, e di Beniamino;

13 e gli altri stieno sopra il monte di Ebal, per pronunziar la maledizione; cioè, le tribù di Ruben, di Gad, di Aser, di Zabulon, di Dan, e di Neftali.

14 E parlino i Leviti, e dicano ad alta voce a tutti gl’Israeliti:

15 Maledetto sia l’uomo che avrà fatta scultura, o statua di getto, che è cosa abbominevole al Signore, opera di man di artefice, e l’avrà riposta in luogo occulto. —E risponda tutto il popolo, e dica: Amen.

16 Maledetto sia chi sprezza suo padre o sua madre. —E dica tutto il popolo: Amen.

17 Maledetto sia chi muove i termini del suo prossimo. —E tutto il popolo dica: Amen.

18 Maledetto sia chi trasvia il cieco. —E tutto il popolo dica: Amen.

19 Maledetto sia chi pervertisce la ragione del forestiere, dell’orfano, e della vedova. —E tutto il popolo dica: Amen.

20 Maledetto sia chi giace con la moglie di suo padre; perciocchè egli scopre il lembo di suo padre. —E tutto il popolo dica: Amen.

21 Maledetto sia chi si congiugne con alcuna bestia. —E tutto il popolo dica: Amen.

22 Maledetto sia chi giace con la sua sorella, figliuola di suo padre, o figliuola di sua madre. —E tutto il popolo dica: Amen.

23 Maledetto sia chi giace con la sua suocera. —E tutto il popolo dica: Amen.

24 Maledetto sia chi uccide il suo prossimo in occulto. —E tutto il popolo dica: Amen.

25 Maledetto sia chi prende presente, per far morir l’innocente. —E tutto il popolo dica: Amen.

26 Maledetto sia chi non avrà attenute le parole di questa Legge, per metterle in opera. —E tutto il popolo dica: Amen.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

585. And against His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. This symbolizes scandalous assertions against the Lord's celestial church and against heaven.

The Tabernacle has almost the same symbolic meaning as the Temple, namely, in the highest sense, the Lord's Divine humanity, and in a relative sense, heaven and the church (nos. 191, 529). But in the latter sense the Tabernacle symbolizes the celestial church, which is impelled by the goodness of love toward the Lord received from the Lord; and the Temple symbolizes the spiritual church, which is impelled by truths of wisdom received from the Lord. Those who dwell in heaven symbolize heaven.

The Tabernacle symbolizes the celestial church because the Most Ancient Church, being impelled by love toward the Lord, was a celestial church and held sacred worship in tents. And the Ancient Church was a spiritual church and held sacred worship in temples.

Tents used wood in their construction, while temples used stone, and wood symbolizes goodness, and stone truth.

[2] That the Tabernacle symbolizes the Lord's Divine humanity in respect to Divine love, and a heaven and a church that is impelled by love toward the Lord, can be seen from the following passages:

Jehovah, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy mountain? He who walks uprightly, and practices righteousness, and speaks the truth... (Psalms 15:1-2)

(Jehovah) shall hide me in His tabernacle; in the secret place of His tabernacle He shall conceal me; He shall set me high... (Psalms 27:4-5)

I will abide in Your tabernacle forever. (Psalms 61:4)

Look upon Zion...; let your eyes behold Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that will not be dispelled... (Isaiah 33:20)

(Jehovah) who... spreads (the heavens) out like a tent to dwell in. (Isaiah 40:22)

...you have made Jehovah..., the Most High, your dwelling place..., no plague shall come near your tent. (Psalms 91:9-10)

(Jehovah) set (His) tabernacle among (them).... (He) will walk among (them).... (Leviticus 26:11-12)

(Jehovah) forsook the tent of Shiloh, the tabernacle in which He dwelled among men. (Psalms 78:60)

I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them...." (Revelation 21:3)

...My tabernacle has been laid waste... (Jeremiah 4:20; 10:20)

He shall... pluck you out of your tent, and uproot you from the land of the living. (Psalms 52:5)

And so on elsewhere, as in Isaiah 16:5; 54:2, Jeremiah 30:18, Lamentations 2:4, Hosea 9:6; 12:9, Zechariah 12:7.

[3] Since the Most Ancient Church, which was a celestial church, being impelled by love toward the Lord and being thus in conjunction with Him, held sacred worship in tents, therefore by the Lord's command Moses erected a tent or tabernacle, in which everything relating to heaven and the church was represented. And it was so holy that no one was permitted to enter except Moses, Aaron, and Aaron's sons; and if any of the people were to do so, they would die (Numbers 17:12-13; 18:1, 22-23; 19:14-19).

Inmostly in that tabernacle, containing the two tables of the Decalogue, was the Ark, on which was the mercy seat and over it the cherubim. And outside the veil was the table holding the showbread, the altar of incense, and the lampstand having seven lamps. All of these things were representative objects relating to heaven and the church. The tabernacle itself is described in Exodus 26:7-16; 36:8-37.

We also read that the design of the Tabernacle was shown to Moses upon Mount Sinai (Exodus 25:9; 26:30); and whatever he was given to see from heaven is a representation relating to heaven and the church.

In memory of the most ancient people's sacred worship of the Lord in tents, and of their conjunction with Him through love, Israel was commanded to observe the Feast of Tabernacles, as recorded in Leviticus 23:39-44, Deuteronomy 16:13-14.

Revelation 13

Studie

   

1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names.

2 The beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.

3 One of his heads looked like it had been wounded fatally. His fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled at the beast.

4 They worshiped the dragon, because he gave his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"

5 A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him.

6 He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his dwelling, those who dwell in heaven.

7 It was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him.

8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.

9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

10 If anyone is to go into captivity, he will go into captivity. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, he must be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

11 I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a dragon.

12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.

13 He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the sight of people.

14 He deceives my own people who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast; saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived.

15 It was given to him to give breath to it, to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as wouldn't worship the image of the beast to be killed.

16 He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given marks on their right hands, or on their foreheads;

17 and that no one would be able to buy or to sell, unless he has that mark, the name of the beast or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six.
